Where Republicans in Congress stand on Trump’s false claim of winning the election

Alexander’s office replied to the poll with a statement Nov. 23, in which he said: “The presidential election is rapidly coming to a formal end. Recounts are being completed. Courts are resolving disputes. Most states will certify their votes by December 8. Since it seems apparent that Joe Biden will be the president-elect, my hope is that President Trump will take pride in his considerable accomplishments, put the country first and have a prompt and orderly transition to help the new administration succeed. When you are in public life, people remember the last thing you do.” On Nov. 20, the Associated Press reported that Alexander has no objection to Trump’s recount requests, because recounting reinforces the validity of election results. But he did criticize an effort by Trump to try to subvert the results, saying, “The wrong way to do it is to meddle with state legislators and try to persuade them to send a slate of electors that’s different than the slate of electors voted on by the people of that state.” Read more »

McClintock’s office referred to a statement he made on the House floor in November: “The NATURE of democracy is that in every election there is always a winner and a loser. The SUCCESS of democracy depends on the loser believing the vote was fair and accepting the result. The VOTE is not the foundation of our democracy — the INTEGRITY of the vote is its foundation. ... We also need to ask ourselves why so many Americans currently believe the election was riddled with fraud. It is because so many safeguards built into our system have been removed. We call it ‘Election DAY,’ for a reason. ... This corrupted process cannot continue. Even if it doesn’t rob our elections of their ACTUAL legitimacy, it certainly robs them of their PERCEIVED legitimacy, destroying the trust that the loser of any election must have to accept and respect the will of the electorate. The old process assured the presumption of fairness. The new process offers none. Acceptance of an election cannot be obtained by brow-beating — it can only be earned by a full and open review of the integrity of the election, establishing for all Americans that their vote was fairly and accurately recorded and that the result speaks as the will of the nation. I eagerly await that day.” He and 125 other House Republicans endorsed Texas's lawsuit to void the election results in Pa., Ga., Mich. and Wis. – all states Trump won in 2016 and Biden carried in 2020 – a lawsuit that claimed results were tainted.

McClintock’s office referred to a statement he made on the House floor in November: “The NATURE of democracy is that in every election there is always a winner and a loser. The SUCCESS of democracy depends on the loser believing the vote was fair and accepting the result. The VOTE is not the foundation of our democracy — the INTEGRITY of the vote is its foundation. ... We also need to ask ourselves why so many Americans currently believe the election was riddled with fraud. It is because so many safeguards built into our system have been removed. We call it ‘Election DAY,’ for a reason. ... This corrupted process cannot continue. Even if it doesn’t rob our elections of their ACTUAL legitimacy, it certainly robs them of their PERCEIVED legitimacy, destroying the trust that the loser of any election must have to accept and respect the will of the electorate. The old process assured the presumption of fairness. The new process offers none. Acceptance of an election cannot be obtained by brow-beating — it can only be earned by a full and open review of the integrity of the election, establishing for all Americans that their vote was fairly and accurately recorded and that the result speaks as the will of the nation. I eagerly await that day.” He and 125 other House Republicans endorsed Texas's lawsuit to void the election results in Pa., Ga., Mich. and Wis. – all states Trump won in 2016 and Biden carried in 2020 – a lawsuit that claimed results were tainted.
